Mikie2times Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Any reasonable man would say he has no fuggin clue who we will draft. People have talked about guys like Lynch, Willis, Okoye, and Peterson for months and for all we know the Bills could be targeting an unknown like Whitner. This thread is for people to call out that long shot pick. To start it off I have the Bills swapping firsts with the Chargers for Michael Turner and hopefully a 3rd or 4th. At the bottom of the first I can see us targeting a guy like Justin Durant at OLB. I'm thinking Buffalo is high on this kid and also freaked out Tampa will take him before Buffalo picks in the second.
ROCCEO Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 We're going to take Tedd Ginn Jr as bills fans around the country collectively vomit...oh wait, I forgot Whitey wasnt the GM anymore......
Brandon Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 The biggest shock of draft day might end up being CB Leon Hall of Michigan. Sure, he's rated as a top 15 pick, and yes, the Bills have a need for a starting CB. But its really interesting that we, the fans, don't seem to mention the possibility of drafting him at all. I'm not saying that I advocate drafting a CB in R1, but you'd think this position would be receiving more attention as a potential 1st round pick. It isn't receiving any from the fans.
cieslak86 Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 I really like that strategy with the turner trade and selecting Durant. He definitely seems like a guy the Bills would like, but we also need someone to man the strong side, and he might not have the size for that position. But still, this strategy could be a great way of filling our two biggest needs without losing a bunch of picks for Turner (if the Chargers were willing to accept).

Guffalo Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 guess it just doesn't have the same sex appeal that RB does... i mean clements was so GREAT and all but he still didn't make that many BIG plays.. True, but he did prevent a lot of big plays, and after he got a reputation as a shut down corner, certain routes and receiver combinations were abandoned because of his play. I would hope we go on the defensive side of the ball, probably at linebacker if there isnt a run on them early, Rb in the second and then perhaps a sleeper LB D line in the 3rd with the two picks there.
DanInSouthBuffalo Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 I think the shocker for me would be if we took a WR or better yet a TE like the guy from Miami. I think I would also be shocked if we actually took one of the RB's because my gut feeling tells me we are going to wait until the 2nd and/or third rounds.
I 90 Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Inviting grief and ridicule Marv selects DE Jamaal Anderson of Arkansas. Mel Kiper's hair catches fire as he tries to puzzle out "what on earth are the Bills thinking ?". Marv wonders "why the best player available" should upset so many people and surmises that "you can never have enough good football players".

I wont believe it until it comes out of the cabbies mouth via berman
I 90 Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 The cabbie tells Berman that Marv told 'em the Anderson kid can probably play some outside linebacker.

Rico Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Marv when he takes Pozlusny at #12 no matter who else is on the board.
Koufax Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Willis > Hall Youboty > Haggan/Wire (penciled in starter if we don't draft a replacement) Hall at #12 would make me very sad, but I trust in Marv and DJ.
Rumblings Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Marv when he takes Pozlusny at #12 no matter who else is on the board. :nana: My thoughts exactly. Marv is a character/work ethic guy, and it doesn't get much better with Puz in that department. He also has the versatility to play inside or outtside, so the team doesn't have to make a decision on where to play Crowell right away - they can use training camp to sort it out. Marv has also had success drafting Penn State linebackers - oh, Shane Conlan, how we loved you... I just hope he doesn't pick Posluszny with Willis still on the board...
PIZ Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 I'm going with Timmons. You read my mind. I'm also thinking Timmons in the first. This year Kameron Wimbley. Then in the 2nd a surprise pick will be Brian Leonard, who will fill 2 spots for the Bills - replaces McGahee as RB and fills the FB position. He can stay on the field for all 3 downs; play FB when A-Train is on the field and be the lone back on 3rd downs.

Watched the COMEBACK last night on NFL Network and Conlan was a non-factor the entire game. When was his rookie year and how many seasons did he play?
Bill from NYC Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 The biggest shock of draft day might end up being CB Leon Hall of Michigan. Sure, he's rated as a top 15 pick, and yes, the Bills have a need for a starting CB. But its really interesting that we, the fans, don't seem to mention the possibility of drafting him at all. I'm not saying that I advocate drafting a CB in R1, but you'd think this position would be receiving more attention as a potential 1st round pick. It isn't receiving any from the fans. That is because many fans are trying to wish it away. If (or perhaps even when) Marv takes a first round corner next month, it will mean that he has selected secondary players with no less than 4 of his top 5 draft selections, and who knows whether or not he will stop in round 1? The Bills have huge needs at LB, RB, WR, RG, and imo even WR. To continue to chase dbs (and of course, watch them walk after their initial contract) would be stupid. We have tried this, and it simply doesn't result in victories for the Bills.

We have tried this, and it simply doesn't result in victories for the Bills. I'm definitely not in favor of it myself. I'd much rather they let Youboty compete against another midround selection. Its just odd that we don't hear more about the possibility, given the need and especially the Bills past history at the position. Knowing that, however, I'd guess that the odds of the Bills selecting Hall are as high, if not higher, than them selecting any other particular player in R1. So yes, I think you may be right. We're just trying to wish it away.

Marv wonders "why the best player available" should upset so many people and surmises that "you can never have enough good football players". If Willis is gone, that would not be a bad pick. The cover-2 demands a good pass rush. Anderson would also start some trade talk whoch would allow the Bills to move down.
